First Female Nuclear Aircraft Carrier CO: No Fixed Wing Carrier Flight Experience

[Gunboat1]

First female aircraft carrier Commanding Officer has never taken off by catapult or landed by arresting gear.  But she IS female,  so she's good to go!  If this isn't proof of the priority given to PC over readiness and capability,  I don't know what is.

Our politically controlled military, hell-bent on social justice, diversity, LGBTQ, CRT and other social issues that have nothing to do with defending our country, has just been named our 1st female Aircraft Carrier Captain. CAPT Amy Bauernschmidt will be the new CO of USS Abe Lincoln, CVN-72 (a major nuke flat top). While Amy is a Naval Aviator, she was a helo pilot.  She has 0 catapult shots, 0 arrested landings !!!!
 
We only have 11 carriers. Most CO's have served 3 tours in a carrier based squadron before becoming CO of a carrier based squadron. Then they have been an Air Wing Commander of a carrier based Air Wing. And they probably have around 1000 carrier landings.
 
So Amy has none of these qualifications, but no matter. She will join a growing list of inexperienced and unqualified people.
 
One of her recent jobs was "senior military advisor to the Secretary’s Office of Global Women’s Issues" at the U.S. State Department. 

 

 Another FSC/IWP (tm) (Feminist Sacred Cow/Incompetent Warrior Princess, pronounced "Fiskwipp") is promoted solely for PC reasons, over more experienced and deserving men.  

 

Frankly,  we deserve what's coming to us, for allowing this BS for so long.

 

Our military is deeply infected with a fatal disease:  Political Correctness.   If we don't rip it out root and branch,  the Chinese and/or Russians will eventually slaughter and enslave us..  Time grows short.

Unfortunately,  I think you are right.

So…are you saying that the male high ranking admirals who run the Navy are so incompetent that they’d promote unqualified personnel into positions of leadership?

Absolutely,  it happens every day in slavish pursuit of Political Correctness policies put in place to appease the radical feminist lobby.  It is a cancer infecting all branches, all departments of the federal government.   It must be cut out immediately if we are to save our Republic. 

This is exactly what I have been saying for years,  with certain people insisting that no standards have been lowered, all is as it should be, any criticism of the situation was unwarranted and incorrect. 

Anyone with a shred of intellectual ability and integrity sees the problem for what it is.

PC is a fatal disease.

Not only in the military, I heard a senior executive once say "We don't have to hire the most qualified, only a qualified person" everything is downhill after that.

Yes, and they stretch the definition of "qualified " to accommodate minority affirmative action hires, thereby dumbing down the organization even further.  But as far as they are concerned,  PC trumps ability every time.

Did anyone NOT think this sort of thing was going to happen after the leadership was purged for political correctness?

Right.  I hope she proves us wrong.

So…male officers caused this problem?

I think it was politicians rather than naval officers male or female.

No, female legislators, feminist lobbyists and female servicepersons who insist on taking combatant unit roles for which they are unsuited so they can indulge their badass fantasies cause the problems.  Weak, PC male officers and legislators allow them to fester by pandering to the feminists.

 

And to shut off your weak, puerile circular argument before it begins, it doesn't matter what stupidity some weak male officers contributed to the problem, or who set the cancer into motion.  The problem exists, it is detrimental to our country’s security,  and it needs to be rooted out immediately.

Yes. The wokeness is shocking the last 15 years at least.

So, the manly naval officers don’t do their jobs right. Got it.  Of course you, a naval officer, turnaround and blame women for tour ilk’s lack of leadership and intestinal fortitude.  So typical of ossifers.  Wringing your hands and pass the blames.

You mean the mostly white male upper management, right? 

[Gunboat1]

    

A  robber ransacks a house.  By your tortured, infantile "logic", it's the homeowner's fault for not keeping the robber out.

I bet you think women who get raped are at fault because they didn’t struggle hard enough, and that they deserved it, because they dressed "that way."

Some officer must have held you accountable once.  Your class envy and lingering resentment are pitiful.

Politicians tell those guys what to do. 

[M&P15T]

Does the modern US Navy still have effectively two COs on aircraft carriers? One that is the Captain of the ship, and one that is the C.O. of the air wing assigned to the ship?

Like back in WWII?

Or has that changed?

[Gunboat1]

Yes, there is a CO of the ship,  a CO of the air wing, and probably a flag officer CO of the Task Group.  Lots of senior officers on carriers.

[Mrs.Cicero]

At this point, specifically who is directly responsible for the immediate idiocy (whether this appointment, or the Afghanistan pullout debacle, or anything between) is almost irrelevant if the culture that created the mindset that thinks those actions are a good idea isn't dealt with.  

STOP lowering standards.  Stop allowing multiple standards depending on the gender, creed, color, culture, kinks, and mental stability of the applicant.  One standard.  One standard directly related to the job.  ONE.

Politicians actually tell them by name who to put in command of ships or departments?  Or who to promote to field grade/flag grade?

Trump had been probably the most pro-women empowerment president in recent history, yet the Pentagon took upon itself to delay the nomination of two female generals.
 

But I thought that politicians are telling the military officers what to do?!!  Did Trump tell the Pentagon not to promote women into flag grades?

 

 

[Gunboat1]

Oh, FFS.  YAKKITY YAK.

 

The PC slave Service Secretaries/Generals/Admirals rightly recognized that President Trump wasn't going to sign off on two purely PC promotions, so they bided their time until the Doddering Idiot In Chief was in power.

 

When he announced their purely political promotions,  Bumbles Biden couldn't even remember their names....that's how important the two female flags are.  They are symbolic expressions of pandering to the feminista lobby, nothing more.

 

Perfect illustration of the issue.
